The company determined that to protect their health data, it is necessary to take data their security a step further without haste. As of August 17th, 2022, eighteen out of 25 reproductive health apps and wearable devices that Mozilla investigated for privacy and security practices received a *Privacy Not Included warning label. Bellabeat did not receive a warning label as they have been exceptionally public in immediately taking the following steps after the newest Roe vs. Wade ruling.

Key Points: 
  • The company determined that to protect their health data, it is necessary to take data their security a step further without haste.
  • The newly implemented Private Key Encryption (AES-256) feature will enable all Bellabeat users to access and decrypt her data using a private key via her Bellabeat smartphone app.
  • Also, adding the extra layer of security where data stored on the company's servers cannot be read without holding an individual user's private key.
  • The only person that can access the confidential health data and info in its decrypted form will be the Bellabeat customer herself.
